2nd Annual Potluck-o-Pain

YHC’s plan for today’s edition of Skunkworks was to get back to our roots: the fun assortment of gear that used to be the bread and butter of a good Skunking.  Since YHC doesn’t own that much, I thought, “Hey, why not have everyone bring their own favorite gear?” And so the 2nd Annual Potluck-O-Pain was born.  Fortunately, some people remembered to bring gear, so we had a good variety of “dishes” (thankfully no plates).  Here’s how breakfast was served:

Disclaimer and bit of explanation and gear assignment for those who forgot, then:
COP
20-SSH
20-merkins
20-IW

Count off by 2s. (Turned out to be little more than an extended 10-count). Everyone go to your gear or some of the KBs for . . .

The Main Thang:
50 seconds on, 10 to switch.  Go Clockwise.  Repeato 10X.  10-count recovery then repeat 10-minute group.  Rinse and repeat once more for total of 30 intervals.

“Stations” =

  • Some kind of twisty Merkin things – look like defibrillator paddles
  • 50# sand bags for squats or running
  • 35# slam ball
  • Balance-board merkinator (2×4 on 3” PVC fulcrum)
  • Slosh pipe for squats or whatever
  • Sledgehammer + tire for wood-chops
  • Pullup station (AO provided)
  • Run around the track
  • Grass sled for “grassburners”
  • Sledgehammer and tire for “Happy Gilmore” side-ways smashing
  • Brick pavers for arm circles
  • (optional: Crate with pavers for squats, curls or whatever)
  • Tire flip (AO provided)
  • Jump rope (did anyone use it?)
  • Several kettlebells “stations” for PAX choice

Moleskin:
Thanks for everyone who posted today and special “THANK YOU” to the guys who brought some gear to make the 2nd Annual Potluck-o-Pain a success.  Lois brought the jump rope, but I can’t remember seeing anyone using it.  Including Lois.  Stone Cold travels with his gear, so he didn’t have to remember to bring anything.  Just pulled it out of the boot.  High Tide brought the slosh pipe (gave to me at Meat Head last week), and we all had fun trying to balance about 30# of water in an 8’ tube.  Someone (no names) knocked off the cap, and some kind of toxic waste spilled on the ground and started glowing.  Hope nobody stepped in it – think it would eat through the bottom of your shoes.  Fortunately we were about at the end, and everyone who wanted to had taken at least one turn on it.  Being waterless made it MUCH easier to load in the van.

YHC hopes some of this variety inspires the Qs of future Skunkings to mix it up.  KBs and running are good, but variety is a spice girl of life . . . or something like that.

Thanks for the privilege of leading, gents.
